They said they preferred not to give their opinions until the text of the formal decision of the court is published, which probably will be within ten days. It was the general sentiment here, however, that the non-retro-activeity of article 27, of the Mexican constitution has been definitely decided by the decision, and that supporting the supreme court's decision is President Obregon's reiteration that the famous article 27 never was construed by his government as bring retroactive.
